THE HEIR Chapter 99
“Mr Damian is back?” “Didn't we hear that Mathew has more shares than he does?” “No wonder Ruby came in today. She knows her boss is about to take over" “What the hell is going on?” The employees whispered among themselves as that paved the way for them. They were all curious to know what was going on but no one gave them the answers they wanted. Ruby smoothed her outfit, joining Damian and Ashley in the executive elevator. She suppressed the urge to compliment Damian, knowing he might respond with an arrogant and unappreciative reply like "I know I look good." Ashley's laughter filled the elevator, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I can't wait to see Mathew's face,his anger will definitely make my day!" Damian matched her energy, his voice laced with determination. "Let's get him out of my seat." Ashley gazed at him, intrigued by the change in his demeanour. As the elevator opened on the eighth floor, they stepped out, their confident strides leading them to the confere
THE HEIR Chapter 100
Mathew's face was red with rage as he stormed into his office, his calm facade shattered. He unleashed his fury, by throwing everything in his sight. Damian had granted him a few hours to gather his belongings,which made him more angry. His ego was bruised and he felt so embarrassed. "I'll kill you all! Every last one of you!" he yelled. His Secretary was wise enough to stay out of vicinity. He kept a safe distance, knowing that Mathew always assaulted him as a way to calm himself. Nathan knew his father would be so angry after what had happened,so he decided to join him and move his things. He entered the office with a mix of pity and concealed glee. He was happy to see his father’s downfall because he was the one who stood in his way and took the position he also wanted. He was sure he would have ended Damian if he was the one, unlike his father who did a messy job. "I knew that man was a fool, Father," Nathan said, his voice laced with feigned sympathy. "You trusted him, and no
THE HEIR Chapter 101
Damian spent the rest of the day walking around and admiring the Company while Ruby was rooted to her desk, drafting his schedules and updating herself with things they had missed while they were away. When it was 7 pm, he was the first to leave the office and just passed by Ruby without even bidding her goodbye. “Your life must be so easy right now” Ruby said and sighed as she watched him leave. The excitement in Damian died down when he got to his car that was waiting for him,and saw that Veronica was already waiting for him too beside it. “Hey babe” she smiled broadly at him when she saw him and walked closer to him. Damian had thought Ashley had told her about giving him space but judging by how she was right in front of him,he knew it was either Ashley didn't tell her or she just didn't listen. And now,he would end up spending his night with her and trying to figure out his feelings. “Hi” he said and forced a smile, pulling her in for a hug which made Veronica smile. “I di

Damian's eyes widened in confusion as he witnessed the intimate scene before him. His mind raced with questions. Why was Veronica, his supposed girlfriend, embracing his enemy, Nathan? What was the nature of their relationship that allowed such a display of affection? He cleared his throat loudly, announcing his presence, and Veronica sprang away from Nathan, her haste only fueling Damian's suspicions. "I came to check on you," Damian said, feigning nonchalance, and his tone was neutral. "I'm exhausted and think I need to head home and rest." Veronica's response was laced with nervousness, her words tumbling out in a rush. "Yes, of course, let's go. I'm done here." She swiftly intertwined her arms with Damian's, her gaze avoiding Nathan's as they bid him a hasty goodnight. As they departed, Nathan's eyes lingered on the pair, his expression sceptical. "Are they truly in a relationship?" he muttered to himself, his voice barely audible, his eyes narrowing as he adjusted his suit. So

Ruby sluggishly reached over to silent the persistent alarm, which had been ringing every five minutes for the past half hour. She was jolted awake when she saw the time ,it was 7:30 am! She hastily gathered her things from Raymond's room, where she had spent the night, and made her way to the living room,careful enough not to wake the boy. As she changed into the outfit she had worn to work the previous day, Melissa suddenly appeared, startled, and let out a little yelp. "Oh my goodness, you scared me!" she exclaimed, her heart still racing. Ruby shot her a glare. "You should have woken me up! Now I'm running late for work and will have to face Damian with his newly purchased sharp tongue" Melissa offered, "Do you want a quick breakfast?" Ruby's brief smile faded as quickly as it appeared. "No, thanks." After dressing up, she grabbed her car keys from the couch and headed for the door. "How do I look?" she asked Melissa, seeking a final confirmation that she was presentable fo

"Let's pay the President a visit," Mathew said to his Secretary, his voice firm and decisive. With a swift gesture, the Secretary pressed the button for the tenth floor, their destination. As the elevator doors slid open and Mathew stepped out of it,his presence commanding and authoritative,Ruby's eyes widened in surprise, her heart racing with anticipation. She sprang to her feet, her mind racing with questions. What did Mathew want? Why had he come to the tenth floor unannounced? She wasn't new to the fact that Mathew’s presence around Damian was never a good news and meeting him with Damian’s current situation was a bad idea “How can I help you sir?” she asked politely.“The President is in his office right? I need to see him”“The President?” Ruby asked as she thought of the best thing to say that would make him leave.“Yes,the President,” Mathew said with an irritated expression.“He is in but actually you will need an appointment. That is what he said, everyone needs an appoint

Ashley's eyes widened in astonishment, her face pale with shock, as she repeated, "Mathew said that?" Her voice trembled slightly, betraying her attempt to appear calm. Damian nodded, his eyes fixed on hers, awaiting her response. Ashley's mind raced,as she wondered how Mathew found out,then she concluded it was just him guessing and was only trying to confirm it from Damian,but unfortunately for him, his memories were gone and couldn't confirm Mathew's guess for him.She feigned disbelief 'Is that old fool finally losing his grip on reality?' She forced a laugh, trying to convince Damian of Mathew's supposed absurdity. She wasn't ready to tell Damian the truth,she wanted him to see her as his mother,so that he wouldn't question whatever decision she makes for him.“Same thing I said. Not like I have a twin”“Don't listen to him,okay? He is just a big fool displaying his speciality. Don't let people like him mess with your head” Ashley said and just then,her phone vibrated in her han

"Texas?" Ruby asked, incredulous. "Out of the blue, you dropped this bombshell on me?" Damian had just arrived at work and that was the first thing he said to her. Damian, freshly arrived at work, seemed unfazed. "Matthew called me on my way here. He needs me to convince a rancher in Texas to sell his property to our company." Ruby's eyes narrowed. "And why am I tagging along?" Damian sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Because, Ruby, I'm still getting accustomed to being back, and I can't do everything on my own yet. You're my secretary, and I need your support, isn't that your work here?" He asked rudely. Ruby's confusion persisted. "A ranch? What do we need a ranch for?" Damian's patience wore thin. "I don't know, Ruby! According to Matthew, it's a deal he's been trying to close before I returned, and now the rancher insists on meeting our new president which is me before finalising the sale. Now no more questions,we are leaving tomorrow” “Tomorrow?’ Ruby eyes widened in
